Go see after you do the "Hop On, Hop Off Tour." Be sure to pay attention to the narrator during the tour.
It was an interesting show. It's all in Korean. The closer to the front, the better view. The theater was nice and cool. It is an older style theater. The shows do sell out on Saturdays.

Exellent
The show was very captivating and i left there with a big smile on my face. Rhe theater was very well airconditioned too, so a great activity on a hot day.

A must see in Hanoi
This is definitely an interesting experience. We booked VIP and were in the second row. We also rented the translators so we could hear the folk stories. I would recommend.

Great show definitely worth a visit.
We arrived to collect our tickets at the box office which was a very swift experience. The show is fabulous and everyone has a great view as the seat are very staggered. The provide booster seats for children too. The puppeteers are so talented.

Extraordinary Water Puppet Shy
We had a great time at the Water Puppet Show in Hanoi. It was easy to follow even though it was all in Vietnamese. Amazing how much humor and emotion can be expressed by wooden puppets splashing in the water. There were nine musicians with traditional instruments and 3 singers. Amazing show.

Lovely Insight into Local Culture
We really enjoyed this experience, very different to anything we've ever seen and would definitely recommend it for those interested in a bit of local culture. Even if you don't understand the words, the skill of the puppeteers, musicians and singers can still be appreciated!

Colorful Puppet Show
It is colorful and great music. The skill of the puppeteers is brilliant. We made the mistake of not taking the English audio support - without that your understanding will be limited as it is in Vietnamese.

Very quirky and traditional. Really enjoyed it. Worth understanding what will happen beforehand or getting audio guide. It does sell out so worth getting tickets before. Unless you get front row tickets it doesn’t really make much difference where you sit.

water puppet theatre.
It was a great show. Viator representative was there waiting for us with the tickets. There were hundreds of people waiting to enter the theatre or desperately trying to buy tickets. He told us exactly where to wait to enter the theatre. It was stress free.

When to visit

The Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre is a must for families.
The puppet performance lasts barely an hour, so neither adults nor children will have time to get bored.
Unlike some outdoor water-puppet shows, Thang Long is an enclosed theater, which means it’s pleasant even during winter.
There is a café on-site if you’d like to eat before or after your performance, as well as souvenir shops.
